Filming on the latest Pirates Of The Caribbean movie has been delayed again to allow Johnny Depp more time to recover from surgery. Production on the fifth movie in the series, which is being filmed in Australia, was put on hold for two weeks after Depp, who stars as Captain Jack Sparrow, hurt his hand and wrist in an off-set go-karting accident and flew back to America for treatment.
However, Depp's absence has now been extended to four weeks as the actor needed surgery to insert a pin into one of his fingers, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The actor is now expected to return to Australia in mid-April (15) to get back to work.
Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, which also stars Geoffrey Rush and Javier Bardem, is scheduled for release in 2017.

Oscar nominee Taraji P. Henson put on a child's voice whenever she had to get intimate with her Empire co-star Terrence Howard in a bid to stop him from becoming aroused on set. The stars play divorced couple Lucious and Cookie Lyon on Lee Daniels' hit hip-hop drama series and the storyline for the first season called for the actors to shoot love scenes together.
Henson reveals the two friends, who previously worked together on Hustle & Flow, took extra measures to make sure the steamy scenes didn't become uncomfortable for either of them.
She tells New York radio personality Angie Martinez, "You have to keep them (love scenes) professional. They (men) can't help if they get aroused.
"Every time we lay there (in bed), he kept talking to his little male member... Every time he would get on top of me I would say (in a baby voice), 'Daddy, why are you on top of me? Where is Mommy? Why is the door closed?' And it worked!"
Empire has taken U.S. audiences by storm since its debut in January (15) and Henson claims fans of the show, which wrapped its first run on Wednesday (18Mar15), mob her whenever she's out in New York City.
She says, "Cookie's stolen my life... It's crazy 'cause I've been here. It goes to show all my hard work has paid off. I'm no longer Taraji... I'm Cookie. It's overwhelming."

Terrence Howard was convinced he was looking at a flop when he read the first few pages of the Empire script because he felt sure America wasn't ready to see two men kissing on TV. The actor's Hustle & Flow co-star Taraji P. Henson urged show creator Lee Daniels to hire her friend as her character's ex-husband, but when the call came through from The Butler director, Howard wasn't sure he wanted the role of music mogul Lucious Lyon, whose second son is gay.
He explains, "I didn't think it was gonna work... I got my assistant and I was like, 'Man, this is some c**p... How are they gonna shoot this?'
"Twelve minutes into the pilot, you've got two men kissing... If I was 12 years old and my father came downstairs and saw me watching the TV show that had men kissing, I would have a life-long conversation with my daddy and I would never be able to watch TV again. That's the environment I grew up in. That's the environment my friends grew up in.
"I was like, 'This is a show aimed towards the black demographic and do you really think this is gonna fly?' I called (studio bosses at) Fox. I was like, 'You need to take the kissing outta this; this is gonna shut down the show'. I was so wrong.
"I didn't know how ready the world was to see the truth."

Hollywood actress Meryl Streep lit candles at a vigil in New York City this week (beg09Mar15) for an Indian student who was raped and beaten to death in 2012. The Oscar winner led a remembrance event for the 23-year-old woman, who was attacked on a bus in Delhi and later died of her injuries, to mark the U.S. premiere of India's Daughter, a controversial BBC documentary telling the story of her murder.
Speaking at the screening at Baruch College in Manhattan on Monday (09Mar15), Streep told the audience, "Tonight we light these candles to honour the value and the work of (her) short, promising life. She was India's daughter. Tonight she's our daughter too."
Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto also spoke at the event, and urged officials in India to lift a ban on the broadcast of the film, saying, "Ultimately, this is a film that needs to go out. This is not a shame-India documentary."
Officials in India have obtained an injunction to stop the documentary being shown amid concerns over onscreen comments made by one of the men convicted of the atrocity, who appeared to show no remorse for his actions.

Actress Salma Hayek has reversed her views on feminists and is now proudly using the term to describe herself as she is "ready to fight for women's rights". Just before the Frida star was honoured for her ardent support for gender equality in November (14), Hayek said in an interview that she did not consider herself a feminist.
She told People magazine, "I am not a feminist. If men were going through the things women are going through today, I would be fighting for them with just as much passion. I believe in equality.
"It should not be just because I am a woman. It should be a reflex, if someone else is being hurt, to help. It shouldn't have to be because you are being a victim too. I work a lot for domestic violence, and people often ask me if I have experienced it. And I say, no, on the contrary - my father is a great man, my husband is a great man. But we are all human beings, no?"
But in preparation for International Women's Day on Sunday (08Mar15), Hayek changed her thoughts on the term in an interview with U.K.'s The Guardian, saying, "I am a feminist because I love women and I am ready to fight for women."
She added, "I am a feminist because I am proud to be a woman, and I am passionate about making the world a better place for women. I am a feminist because a lot of amazing women have made me the woman I am today. I am inspired by women every day, as friends and as colleagues."
On Sunday, Hayek closed out London's Women of the World Festival by giving an empowering speech to women before screening her new animated film The Prophet, inspired by Lebanese author Kahlil Gibran's poetry essays.

Friends and family of comic book artist Norman Lee are praying for a miracle after he went missing while snorkelling with his wife off the Cayman Islands on Thursday (05Mar15). Lee, whose work most recently featured in the Spider-Man, Avengers and X-Men series, was on vacation with his wife Jan when they became separated.
Jan returned to the Reef Resort shore, but she reached out to police for help when her husband failed to surface.
Local authorities launched a massive manhunt for Lee, but they have since called off the search, insisting it's highly unlikely the 47 year old is alive.
Chief Inspector Brad Ebanks says, "The currents in that area are strong and it is unlikely that we will make any recovery at this stage.
"We put all assets available to us, both law enforcement and privately owned. We thank all those who assisted us in this time of need. Unfortunately we were unable to find or recover Mr. Lee."
Tributes have since been posted on Lee's Facebook page, with Philip Simon, an editor at Dark Horse Comics, writing, "Still hoping for a miracle. Norman, so many people love you."

Actress Jada Pinkett Smith has a newfound sympathy for men after finally understanding how their libido can influence their decision-making following her own steamy experiences on the set of the Magic Mike sequel. The Gotham star plays a strip club owner in Channing Tatum's sexy new film, and she admits being surrounded by near-naked men on her first day at work awoke something within her.
Will Smith's wife tells U.S. talk show host Seth Meyers, "I learned something very interesting. You know how you guys are always telling us you have two heads and that they think at the same time, (but) they think differently...?
"So I walk on my set for the first time at my club. At my club it's just chocolate tastiness (all black men). It's 10, 11, 12 chocolate men getting breezed down by the make-up department and literally, I walked on the set and my knee buckled. Literally! My knee buckled! And for the first time in my life, the other head below started talking to me: 'Procreate! Procreate! Procreate!' My top head (brain) was like, 'Jada, there is not a Will Smith on this set, you can't procreate with nobody (sic)!'"
She continues, "That whole day, that was the moment when I was like, I feel really bad for guys, because all along, you're constantly dealing with that kind of stimulation. It's difficult and I got a reality on (experienced) it. That was a hard day! I only had one hard day, but it was rough!"
Ironically, after initially landing the role in Magic Mike XXL, Pinkett Smith insisted she wouldn't be tempted by her stripper co-stars, stating: "I'm used to being around all that beefcake because you know who I live with."
The actress' co-stars in the upcoming film include Tatum, Matt Bomer, Joe Manganiello, Donald Glover and American footballer-turned-TV host Michael Strahan.

Heavy metal star Randy Blythe is adding ballet composer to his resume after agreeing to score a friend's new dance project. The Lamb of God frontman reveals he was approached by his pal Matthew Frain, a member of Virginia's Richmond Ballet, and asked if he could use some of his old music for a new short piece, titled Inventory, but instead the singer offered to help score the show from scratch.
Blythe, who admits he is a fan of ballet, tells the local Richmond magazine, "(Frain) asked me if he could use some (pre-existing music) and I said, 'Sure, but why don't we just conceptualise a piece from the ground up, together.'"
Discussing his inspirations, he continues, "Artistically, I don't live in some heavy metal cave - most of my favourite frontmen all work in various disciplines - Nick Cave, Henry Rollins, David Yow; these are men whose musical work I admire and respect.
"These guys have made some of the most original and caustic tunes in the history of music, but they also have produced some really beautiful art and literature. Those are the types of artistic role models I look to for inspiration."
But Blythe can understand why his new side project may come as a surprise for fans of his group Lamb of God.
He adds, "I guess some fans of my band or metal music in general might be surprised, because they only know me as a two-dimensional cartoon-character-like screaming frontman of a metal band."
Inventory will premiere at Richmond, Virginia's dance festival on 22 March (15).

Star Trek icon Leonard Nimoy has died. The 83 year old was hospitalised in Los Angeles after suffering severe chest pains last week (ends20Feb15). He passed away at his home in Bel Air on Friday (27Feb15).
His wife, Susan Bay Nimoy, has confirmed the sad news, revealing the cause of death was end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Born in Boston, Massachusetts, the son of Ukrainian immigrants and Orthodox Jews, Nimoy found his passion for acting when he was a young boy, appearing in local theatre productions. He headed to Hollywood to chase his dream of becoming a professional in the late 1940s and landed his first role in Queen for a Day in 1951.
He scored a series of small roles in forgettable films and TV series like Zombies of the Stratosphere.
His first starring movie role came in 1952 when he portrayed a street-gang leader-turned-boxer in Kid Monk Baroni.
After serving in the U.S. Army, where he organised variety shows for the Special Services branch, he returned to his Hollywood dream, while studying acting at the Pasadena Playhouse in California.
His roles started to get bigger with parts in television shows like Wagon Train, Mission: Impossible and Rawhide, and he quickly became a household name when he signed on to play Vulcan Mr. Spock on Star Trek - a part he played on TV from 1966 to 1986, and in several movies, including J.J. Abrams' 2009 film Star Trek and its 2013 sequel Star Trek Into Darkness - Nimoy's last film credit.
He also directed and co-wrote two Star Trek films in the 1980s - Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Nimoy also directed the hugely successful Three Men & a Baby movie in 1987.
He landed four Emmy nominations for his work as Spock and as the husband of Golda Meir, the prime minister of Israel, in 1982 movie A Woman Called Golda, but he never won. He also hosted popular TV show Ancient Mysteries, and provided the voice for animated characters in 1986's Transformers: The Movie.
Aside from his film and TV work, Nimoy was a respected photographer, acting teacher, poet, author and he also enjoyed unlikely music success with covers of songs like If I Had a Hammer. His debut album, Leonard Nimoy Presents Mr. Spock’s Music From Outer Space, is still considered a novelty classic.
He returned to college in his 40s and earned a master’s degree in Spanish from Antioch University Austin. The college later awarded him an honorary doctorate.
Nimoy was married twice and is survived by his widow, children, Adam and Julie Nimoy; a stepson, Aaron Bay Schuck, six grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. His two memoirs, I Am Not Spock and I Am Spock were published in 1977 and 1995, respectively.
The beloved actor left fans with a philosophical thought on his Twitter.com blog late on Sunday (22Feb15), when he wrote, "A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP (Live Long and Prosper - his Spock mantra)"
Flowers were placed on his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Friday morning, hours after the news of his death broke.

Hip-hop producer No I.d. has honoured the work of Common and [JOHN LEGEND] by posting a touching letter to the Oscar winners online. The hitmaker, who has worked with Common since the start of the rapper's career, shared the note with fans ahead of the Academy Awards on Sunday (22Feb15), insisting he was proud of how far they had come and how much they had achieved regardless of whether they would triumph in the Best Original Song category at Hollywood's big night.
